美國參議院

2025年10月9日

佛羅里達州聯邦參議員斯科特（Scott）提出以下決議，並交由參議院外交關係委員會審議。

2026年6月16日

委員會解除審議程序；提交全院審議並獲通過。

決議

譴責中華人民共和國獨裁者習近平欺瞞世人、破壞和平與安全前景，以及策劃反人類罪行。

鑒於：

習近平是中國共產黨的領導人，而中國共產黨是一個對全球穩定與和平構成嚴重威脅的犯罪組織；

鑒於在習近平總書記的控制下，中國共產黨從事系統性的欺騙、鼓吹戰爭及反人類罪行，其規模和性質在歷史上鮮有類比；

鑒於在習近平領導下，中國共產黨經常就 SARS-CoV-2（新冠病毒）的起源撒謊，並利用如世界衛生組織等國際機構散播病毒傳播能力有限的虛假資訊；

鑒於已有超過100萬名美國人死於新冠病毒，而這些本可避免的生命損失，反映出中華人民共和國謊言與欺瞞所造成的後果；

鑒於習近平總書記曾於2019年及2023年承諾加強與美國在芬太尼問題上的合作，但近年來仍有超過7萬名美國人死於芬太尼過量，而《2025年國家毒品威脅評估》指出：「芬太尼及其他合成毒品……是全國致命藥物過量死亡的主要驅動因素」；

鑒於從「下水道大蒜」到破損磁性西洋棋棋子，中國共產黨在消費品安全方面有著令人震驚的不良紀錄；

鑒於美國國家衛生研究院（NIH）2015年的研究認定，人類糞便被用作中華人民共和國的農業肥料；

鑒於習近平進一步強化共產中國長期以來在貿易上作弊並刻意無視世界貿易組織義務的傳統；

鑒於中華人民共和國於2001年12月獲准加入世界貿易組織，並承諾透過減少國家對貿易與投資的控制、取消價格管制、保護智慧財產權及其他多項改革，轉型為更具市場導向的經濟體；

鑒於截至本決議提出之日，中國共產黨仍持續違反許多當初加入世界貿易組織時所作出的承諾與義務；

鑒於在習近平統治下，共產中國已成為世界最大的官方債權國，其海外放貸組合中有80%流向陷入財務困境的國家；

鑒於習近平提出的「一帶一路」倡議所帶來的結果只有主權流失以及長期經濟與環境破壞；

鑒於中國政府試圖在國際媒體上壓制報導的「中礦金屬災難（Sino Metals disaster）」，再次顯示中華人民共和國掠奪性放貸的做法；

鑒於2025年2月18日，尚比亞北部一家大型中資銅礦的尾礦壩潰決，超過5,000萬公升有毒廢物流入尚比亞命脈——卡富埃河（Kafue River），重創生態系統、摧毀農作物，並威脅流域內超過60%尚比亞人口的健康與生計；

鑒於洩漏後卡富埃河的pH值最低降至約1.8，使河水從水體變成更接近胃酸（pH值約1）的物質；

鑒於2025年6月，美國刑事起訴書指控中國公民涉及共謀、將危險生物病原體走私進入美國、作出虛假陳述及簽證詐欺；

鑒於在習近平統治下，中國共產黨加速間諜活動，包括2017年對信用報告機構 Equifax 的網路攻擊，竊取1億4,500萬名美國人的住址、出生日期、社會安全號碼及其他個人資料；

鑒於2021年2月至2024年12月期間，全美20個州記錄了超過60宗與中國共產黨相關的間諜案件，包括秘密設立及運作非法「警察站」；

鑒於習近平領導下的中國共產黨透過堅持以武力奪取台灣、侵犯台灣領土完整及防空識別區（ADIZ）、支持恐怖主義國家贊助者，以及在俄羅斯對烏克蘭無端侵略中與俄羅斯聯邦站在同一陣線，進一步損害區域及國際穩定；

鑒於根據台灣國防部資料，2024年中國人民解放軍軍機進入台灣防空識別區超過3,600架次，創下新紀錄；

鑒於中國共產黨從未統治過台灣，卻持續對鄰國及美國盟友的福祉造成重大損害；

鑒於在習近平統治下，共產中國持續騷擾及恐嚇菲律賓船隻於西菲律賓海的活動，危及菲律賓海事人員安全、威脅航行自由並破壞區域和平穩定；

鑒於中華人民共和國約占朝鮮民主主義人民共和國全部貿易的90%以上，並購買伊朗伊斯蘭共和國高達90%的石油出口；

鑒於習近平領導下的中國共產黨承諾將中巴經濟走廊擴展至塔利班控制下的阿富汗；

鑒於習近平統治下的中國共產黨策劃了針對維吾爾族及新疆維吾爾自治區（又稱東突厥斯坦）其他穆斯林群體的現代種族滅絕；

鑒於習近平統治下，中國共產黨將超過100萬名穆斯林維吾爾人關押於監獄及勞改營，並強迫被關押維吾爾男性的妻子與國家指派的漢族男性同床；

鑒於美國總統川普於2021年認定對維吾爾人的行為構成種族滅絕，而拜登政府亦予以確認；

鑒於習近平擔任總書記期間，共產中國摘取政治異議人士器官，其中最著名的受害群體包括法輪功修煉者；

鑒於1989年6月3日至4日的天安門廣場大屠殺，即使36年後，仍清楚展現中國共產黨的邪惡與懦弱，以及其無法壓制中國人民追求自由的願望；

鑒於中國共產黨於2020年大幅擴張西藏的大規模強迫勞動制度，並持續對藏人實施強迫失蹤、酷刑及其他殘酷、不人道及有辱人格的待遇，剝奪其獨特文化認同；

鑒於共產中國於2020年實施《香港國家安全法》，損害香港人的基本自由，並不公正地監禁良心犯，包括《蘋果日報》創辦人 Jimmy Lai 黎智英；

鑒於習近平統治下的共產中國持續將脫離朝鮮民主主義人民共和國的人員遣返回國，儘管這些脫北者面臨被處決及遭受酷刑的高度風險；以及

鑒於中華人民共和國境內各類基督徒均遭受迫害，尤其是不加入官方認可的天主教及新教「愛國宗教團體」者；而這些組織實際上是中國共產黨及習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想的宣傳工具；

因此，現決議如下：

參議院：

1. 譴責中華人民共和國獨裁者習近平，因其長期從事欺瞞行為、破壞和平與安全前景，並策劃反人類罪行；
2. 與中華人民共和國人民，以及全球所有曾承受中國共產黨統治後果的人們站在一起；
3. 鼓勵對中國共產黨官員適用所有可用制裁機制，包括依據 Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act 《全球馬格尼茨基人權問責法》（Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act）授權的制裁措施。

Stripping the Civilian Mask: The Ironclad Military Core of Xi Jinping’s Lifelong Tenure

In Western media and mainstream geopolitical commentary, the 2018 constitutional amendment that abolished China’s presidential term limits is routinely dismissed as a cartoonish "emperor's dream" or a chaotic product of Zhongnanhai's palace intrigue. Commentators frequently indulge in mocking Xi Jinping’s intellect or background, treating his rise through an entertainment lens.

This is a catastrophic strategic miscalculation. It completely ignores the primary directive of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) power structure: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

When you peel back the manufactured narrative of a "civilian technocrat ascending through local governance," and look strictly at the hard, verifiable military data—much of it inadvertently documented by state media photos of Xi operating anti-aircraft artillery in the 1990s—a chilling reality emerges. Xi Jinping is not a civilian official who happened to co-opt the military; he is the ultimate representative of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) "barrel of a gun" cartel. His lifelong tenure is a dual-signed pact between a commander and a military apparatus obsessed with ending the humiliation of the 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis.

— CPA Jim (@CPAJim2021) April 21, 2026

1. Upending the Narrative: The Military Man Running the Localities

The conventional biography structures Xi’s 20-year stint in southeastern China (Fujian and Zhejiang) as a civilian career supplemented by nominal, ceremonial military titles. To truly decode the regime, we must invert this logic: Xi was a military-embedded asset sent to govern, secure, and legally anchor the strategic rear base of the PLA's Nanjing Military Region.

According to official CCP records, Xi’s timeline is not that of a typical bureaucrat, but of a core military operative deeply integrated into actual combat units and mobilization networks:

The Legislative Infiltration (1990–1996)

During this period, Xi’s true institutional weight was defined as: First Secretary of the Party Committee of the PLA Fuzhou Military Sub-district and former active-duty secretary of the General Office of the Central Military Commission (CMC), serving concurrently as the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Fuzhou Municipal People’s Congress. He was the military’s hand inside the local legislative organ, acting as a "uniformed" lawmaker before ascending to the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee.

Embedded in Frontline Air Defense (1996–2002)

As the 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis brought China and the US to the brink of war, Xi was appointed First Political Commissar of the Fujian Army Reserve Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) Division. This was no ceremonial post. In 1996, the PLA’s greatest vulnerability was its inability to secure airspace against US carrier strike groups and the Taiwanese Air Force. Xi was directly embedded in the combat chain responsible for protecting forward missile launch sites and command centers.

A photograph published by the state-run Huanqiu (Global Times), capturing Xi in November 1997 physically training as a gunner on an anti-aircraft artillery piece, stands as undeniable historical evidence of his hands-on integration with combat forces.

The War-Time Mobilizer (1999–2003)

For five consecutive years, Xi served as the Deputy Director of the PLA Nanjing Military Region National Defense Mobilization Committee (NDMC). The NDMC is the ultimate bridge between civilian infrastructure and wartime military command. It dictates the seizure of civilian ports, the conscription of commercial vessels, and the total mobilization of logistical assets across multiple provinces. Thus, his tenure as Governor of Fujian and later Governor/Party Secretary of Zhejiang was merely a secondary assignment: he was the War Zone's Chief Logistics Administrator ensuring the combat readiness of the Taiwan front.

2. The PhD as a Geopolitical Weapon: A Four-Year Power Camouflage

Between 1998 and 2002, while concurrently managing the intense, post-crisis wartime mobilization of the Nanjing Military Region, Xi obtained an in-service PhD in Law from Tsinghua University, specializing in Marxist Theory and Ideological and Political Education.

While internet commentators frequently mock the legitimacy of this degree, they miss its profound systemic utility. In the CCP’s theological framework, a raw military commander cannot easily claim the supreme throne without undisputed ideological credentials.

Those four years were not an academic pursuit; they were a political coronation. The degree was a calculated operation by the "barrel of a gun" faction to paint their champion as a dual-capable elite—文武双全 (master of both the pen and the sword)—granting him the ideological legitimacy needed to bypass traditional civilian technocrats like Hu Jintao and Wen Jiaobao.

3. The 2018 Amendment: The Military's War on "Uncertainty"

When the 2018 National People's Congress voted to eliminate presidential term limits, the decisive force in that hall was the PLA and People's Armed Forces Delegation—the largest, most disciplined, and most powerful single voting bloc in the legislature, comprising roughly 10% of the entire congress. And Xi Jinping sat on that stage not just as General Secretary, but as a fellow Deputy of the National People's Congress representing the military's interests.

The PLA has never forgotten the humiliation of 1996, when US carriers freely navigated the strait and jammed PLA radars. Since 2012, the military has backed Xi’s sweeping purges of corrupt legacy generals to achieve a singular goal: absolute readiness for a structural showdown with the West.

The institutional trap of the CCP was its "Three-in-One" power structure: the General Secretary and CMC Chairman positions had no term limits, but the State Presidency did. If the term limits were not removed:

• After 10 years, the Presidency (the Head of State) would have to change hands.

• This would create an unacceptable "bifurcation of power" between the international face of the state and the absolute commander of the military.

• To a war-footing military apparatus, this structural looseness represents a fatal vulnerability—strategic uncertainty.

Conclusion: The Secret Code is Written in the War Zone

The international community must stop analyzing Beijing through the prism of civilian governance. Xi Jinping’s lifelong tenure is the structural manifestation of the military completely securing the state apparatus.

From infiltrating local legislative bodies in the early 1990s to architecting wartime mobilization protocols at the turn of the century, Xi's entire worldview, power base, and network of allies were forged in the shadow of the 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis.

When Western analysts laugh at internet memes, the Pentagon looks at the 1997 photo of Xi behind an anti-aircraft gun and recognizes the truth: they are facing a leader whose entire 30-year political trajectory was engineered for a singular, historical combat objective. The 2018 constitutional amendment wasn't an individual's ego trip; it was the "barrel of a gun" locking itself into the driving seat of the state for the foreseeable future.

鋼鐵與硝煙的雙向奔赴：從南京軍區與台海危機，解密習近平「終身制」的軍事內核

• 

習近平終身制的內核，是一場「槍桿子」全面奪權的制度合謀

在探討 2018 年中共修憲取消國家主席任期限制時，外界的評論總陷入一種文人式的盲區，將其歸咎於習近平個人的「皇帝夢」或中南海的宮廷內鬥。這種流於表面的解讀，完全無視了中共政權最核心的暴力邏輯——「槍桿子裡面出政權」。

如果我們丟掉中共官方刻意包裝的「地方文官步步晉升」的敘事，直接用最直白、最硬核的履歷線索去還原真相，你會發現一個令人震驚的本質：習近平從來就不是什麼普通文官，他的本質是中國人民解放軍（尤其是原南京軍區）深度培養並推向台前的「槍桿子核心代表」。2018年的修憲，本質上是軍方利益集團與體制強硬派，為了確保其戰爭與地緣野心而進行的一場全面奪權與制度合謀。

一、 主客易位：不是文官兼軍職，而是「現役軍人」兼理地方

中共官方的通稿，總把習近平在東南沿海二十年的經歷，寫成一個地方文官「兼任」軍隊職務的歷練過程。但如果我們把這個邏輯倒過來，才是符合中共暴力統治本質的真實視角：這是一個具有深厚軍隊基因、代表軍委與戰區利益的「槍桿子成員」，先後去兼任、接管地方的黨政與立法大權。

根據官方自己（如湖北廣電網等）披露的硬核履歷，我們可以直接拉出一條主客易位的鐵血線索：

1. 1990－1996年：福州軍分區的「立法機構滲透」

在這期間，習近平的真實身份應被理解為：中國人民解放軍福州軍分區黨委第一書記、前中央軍委辦公廳現役秘書習近平，去擔任（兼任）福州市人大常委會主任、福州市人大代表、中共福州市委書記。 這意味著，他從一開始就是作為「槍桿子」的代表，直接坐鎮並掌控了地方立法機構（福州市人大），隨後以此身份兼任中共福建省委常委、省委副書記。

2. 1996－2002年（台海危機爆發與後續）：前線部隊實權指揮官

1996年台海危機爆發，中美差點開戰。此時習近平的身份是：PLA南京軍區福建省高炮預備役師第一政委。這絕非虛職，而是直接嵌入了對台防空作戰、保護沿海導彈發射陣地指揮鏈的實戰部隊首長。

3. 1999－2003年：戰區級總後裝大管家

習近平連續5年擔任中國人民解放軍南京軍區國防動員委員會副主任。國動委是戰時轉入軍事體制的最高樞紐，負責徵用民船、動員數百萬民工、調度全戰區前線物資。 因此，他這段時期的履歷，大白話的翻譯應該是：南京軍區國動委副主任、前中央軍委現役秘書習近平，先後去兼任（管理）中共福建省委副書記、代省長、省長，以及後來的中共浙江省委副書記、代省長、省委書記。

他整整有20年的時間，肉身死死地釘在南京軍區或其下屬軍分區的體制核心裡。他去當省長、當書記，不過是「槍桿子」集團為了確保東南沿海這個「對台作戰大後方」萬無一失，而派駐過去的鐵血總督。

二、 博士帽下的軍事密碼：在職研究生的真正動機

一個常被外界當作笑柄、卻隱藏著極深政治算計的細節是習近平的清華法學博士學位。

歷史記錄顯示，他在南京軍區擔任各類核心要職的 1998－2002年 期間，同時在清華大學人文社會學院馬克思主義理論與思想政治教育專業在職研究生班學習。

在台海危機剛結束、東南沿海戰備驚濤駭浪的整整四年裡，一個天天忙於南京軍區國防動員、高炮部隊訓練的前線指揮官，為什麼要大費周章去弄一個「馬克思主義與思想政治教育」的法學博士？

答案極其直白：這不是文人追求的學術榮譽，而是中共體制內「槍桿子」向「筆桿子」與「正統法理」進行的權力鍍金。 在中共「黨指揮槍」的教條下，一個純粹的軍人很難直接問鼎最高權力。習近平需要用這四年的時間，將自己包裝成一個具備最高意識形態理論、擁有國家法理高度的「文武雙全」候選人。這張博士文憑，本質上是軍方集團為了將這位「自己人」送上總書記與國家主席寶座，而進行的一場政治包裝。

三、 修憲取消任期的本質：軍方對「不確定性」的絕對抹殺

當我們用上述「直白」的視角重新審視 2018 年的全國人大修憲，一切宮廷內鬥的迷霧都消散了。

在全國人大制度設計中，解放軍和武警部隊代表團是人數最多、紀律最嚴、手握實權的最龐大單一勢力。而坐在主席台上的最高領導人習近平，除了是中央軍委主席、中共中央總書記外，他自己也是全國人大代表。

對於這支在1996年台海危機中遭受美軍羞辱、誓言要完成軍事現代化與對外擴張的解放軍（特別是習近平深耕20年的南京軍區/東部戰區勢力）來說，他們最抗拒的就是文官體制那套「十年一換班」的遊戲規則。

如果任期不取消：

• 10年期滿後，國家主席（國家元首）勢必換人。

• 這將導致代表軍方意志的軍委主席（無任期限制）與代表國家名義的國家主席出現「權力分離」。

• 在高度緊張的地緣對抗、台海與南海備戰中，這種體制結構的鬆動，對軍方而言就是致命的「政治不確定性」。

因此，修憲從來就不是習近平一個人在中南海拍腦門的瘋狂決定。那是全國人大代表習近平、中央軍委主席習近平，背後站著整個解放軍「槍桿子」集團，對國家體制進行的一場強硬修正。 他們需要一個長期、強勢、且流淌著軍隊現役基因的統帥永遠在位，來完成軍隊現代化與地緣擴張的終極野心。

結語

別再用西方民主社會的文官邏輯去揣度中共的政局了。習近平的終身制，內核就是「槍桿子全面接管並固化國家權力」。

從福州軍分區黨委第一書記兼任人大主任、滲透立法機構開始，到南京軍區國動委副主任兼任省長、掌控地方資源，習近平的每一步，都是軍隊力量在地方和國家制度上的實體延伸。2018年的修憲，只是這股冰冷的鋼鐵力量，最終撕掉了所有溫和的文官面具，將「槍桿子」的集體意志，用憲法的形式刻在了這個國家的最高制度之上。

The Montevideo Defect: How PRC Official Records Prove Its Legislators Lack Representative Legitimacy

Under modern international law, a political entity's claim to legitimate statehood and international recognition is increasingly bound to the principle of democratic self-determination and the existence of a representative government. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States outlines the core criteria of statehood, but the evolution of international jurisprudence underscores that a functioning "government" must derive its mandate from the will of the population, not from internal military commands.

An analysis of official provincial records from the People’s Republic of China reveals a structural, constitutional flaw that directly invalidates its claims to regional and civilian representation. During a crisis that impacted the entire globe—the COVID-19 pandemic—the legislative bodies in the epicentral zone (Hubei Province and Wuhan City) were structurally incapable of establishing independent oversight panels because they were under the active custody of un-elected military personnel.

The Definitive Proof: Announcement No. 341

On January 29, 2024, the Standing Committee of the Hubei Provincial People’s Congress published Announcement No. 341 (湖北省人民代表大会常务委员会公告 第三百四十一号) in the official party organ, the Hubei Daily. The text details the exact mechanisms by which top-tier military and bio-defense actors were installed into the civil legislature:

"The General Hospital of the Central Theater Command convened a Military Representative Assembly to supplementally elect Lu Hui as a deputy to the 14th Hubei Provincial People's Congress. The Hubei Provincial Corps of the People’s Armed Police convened an Election Committee Meeting to supplementally elect Hu Juqiang as a deputy... The Provincial Military District Organs convened a Military Assembly to supplementally elect Li Bin, Jiang Yong, and Qian Jianyu as deputies to the 14th Hubei Provincial People's Congress."

"The 7th Meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th Hubei Provincial People's Congress, based on the report submitted by the Credentials Committee, confirmed that the delegate credentials of Li Bin, Jiang Yong, and Qian Jianyu are valid."

[The Citizens of Hubei / Wuhan] ─── (Zero Votes) ───┐
                                                    ▼
[PLA Military Assemblies / Committees] ───(Elected)───► [Major General Jiang Yong] ──► (Seats in Local Parliament)
                                                                                  │
                                                                                  ▼
                                                                    Blocks Independent COVID Investigations

Legal and Geopolitical Implications

This official gazette provides undeniable, empirical proof of a systemic democratic deficit:

1. Total Disenfranchisement of the Population

Major General Jiang Yong (the former Political Commissar of the elite biological research hub, the Academy of Military Medical Sciences) and his peers do not represent a single civilian resident of Hubei Province or Wuhan City. Their mandates are derived strictly from localized Military Assemblies (军人大会) and Military Representative Assemblies (军人代表大会).

2. Failure of the Representative Government Test

When an administrative state allows a separate, non-civilian armed caste to elect its own commanders into the supreme local legislative body—granting them the statutory power to block motions, set agendas, and control the regional presidium—it ceases to operate as a "representative government." Instead, it functions as a highly fortified Military-Biological Complex occupying a civilian administrative layer.

3. Structural Impossibility of Global Accountability

This document explains exactly why international calls for transparency and local inquiries into the origins of COVID-19 were completely stonewalled. The Hubei Provincial People’s Congress could never emulate the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic because its members are legally bound to military discipline, not public accountability.

By utilizing their own state publications, international legal scholars and geopolitical analysts can conclusively demonstrate that the PRC’s regional legislatures are not instruments of public will. They are legally insulated outposts designed to enforce central military decrees, control sensitive biological data, and protect the ruling party from domestic and international legal accountability.

The Armed State: Structural Barriers to Constitutional Reform for China’s Liberalization

Introduction

Western analysis of China’s 2018 constitutional amendment—which abolished presidential term limits—frequently lapses into a simplistic, personalized narrative. It is routinely framed as the solitary hubris of Xi Jinping. However, this interpretation ignores the foundational reality of the Chinese party-state: power flows from the barrel of a gun. Xi’s consolidation of power was not a unilateral coup against the system; it was an institutional realignment actively pushed and backed by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). To understand Xi is to understand him not merely as a civilian bureaucrat, but as the authentic representative of the military elite.

Furthermore, the vehicle that approved this historic amendment—the National People’s Congress (NPC)—is routinely dismissed as a mere "rubber stamp." This euphemism hides a far darker reality. The NPC is a pseudo-legislative body structurally penetrated, controlled, and flanked by the military. Recognizing this symbiosis fundamentally alters the blueprint for any future Chinese liberalization. If the core of the regime is a nuclear-armed, Leninist-military complex masquerading as a constitutional government, then true reform cannot be achieved by political tinkering. It demands a radical, structural tri-factor: De-nuclearization, Demilitarization, and De-Leninization.

Part I: Xi Jinping as the Avatar of the "Gun Barrel"

To understand why the military backed the 2018 constitutional change, one must examine Xi’s unique pedigree. Unlike his predecessors Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao—who were pure civilian technocrats who cultivated military loyalty from scratch—Xi is a native son of the military establishment.

[Xi's Military Pedigree]
  ├── 1979-1982: Active Duty (Geng Biao's Secretary, Central Military Commission)
  ├── 1985-2007: Deep Roots in Nanjing Military Region (Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai)
  └── Ideological: "Red Second Generation" (Son of revolutionary general Xi Zhongxun)

As the son of revolutionary pioneer Xi Zhongxun, Xi inherits deep institutional trust within the military. More importantly, his career began in uniform. From 1979 to 1982, Xi served as an active-duty officer and secretary to Geng Biao, then-Secretary-General of the Central Military Commission (CMC) and Minister of National Defense. Throughout his subsequent decades in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, Xi concurrently held top political-military roles (such as First Political Commissar) within the Nanjing Military Region—the strategic frontline for the Taiwan Strait.

Therefore, when Xi aligned the state presidency with the term-limitless positions of Party General Secretary and CMC Chairman in 2018, he was executing a strategy desired by the military high command. The PLA sought a permanent, authoritative commander-in-chief to oversee its massive structural modernization, manage geopolitical gridlock with the United States, and secure the regime's existential survival. Xi did not subvert the system; the "gun barrel" used Xi to institutionalize its own permanent dominance.

Part II: The Myth of the Civilian Legislature—PLA Hegemony in the NPC

The institutional complicity of the military is starkly evident in the structural composition of the National People’s Congress itself. Far from being a representation of the Chinese electorate, the NPC has been heavily militarized since its inception in 1954.

1. The Largest Voting Block

The PLA and the People’s Armed Police (PAP) do not just have token representation; they constitute the largest single delegation in the NPC. In recent congresses (such as the 13th and 14th NPC), the military delegation hovered more than 250 delegates. This dwarfs the representations of China’s most populous provinces, such as Henan or Shandong, despite the military representing a fraction of their populations.

第1 、2届60名；
第3、4届分别120、486名；
第5届503名；
第6到8届267名；
第9到12届268名；
第13届269名,有时少于269名https://t.co/vVcYlLHXso https://t.co/qnbZG1lUwu

— CPA Jim (@CPAJim2021) April 25, 2026

2. Dual-Layer Infiltration

The military’s capture of the legislature operates on two distinct levels:

• The Formal Delegation: The massive, unified PLA/PAP delegation that votes strictly as a single, disciplined bloc under military command.

• The Embedded Agents: Since the 1st National People's Congress in 1954, high-ranking military commanders and officers have been intentionally embedded into various provincial and municipal delegations. Historically, revolutionary generals and commanders like Chen Yi (placed in the Shanghai delegation), Luo Ruiqing (Hebei), and Yang Chengwu (Tianjin) acted as local representatives while holding profound military weight. This dual-layer strategy ensures that the military's voice and oversight are woven into regional delegations, guaranteeing absolute obedience.

When the NPC voted nearly unanimously to alter the constitution in 2018, it was not a civilian legislature bowing to a dictator; it was an institution operating with a gun to its head, staffed internally by the very officers wielding the gun.

Part III: The Structural Barriers to Constitutional Reform

If the military and the Leninist party apparatus are the true authors of China's political trajectory, it follows that traditional Western hopes for "evolutionary political reform" are an illusion. The current regime is not a standard authoritarian government that can be gradually democratized through civil society or legal reforms. It is a totalizing organism designed to resist internal friction.

Hence, any meaningful path toward a free, constitutional China requires a complete dismantling of the coercive machinery that anchors the current state. This necessitates the "Three-Noes"  framework:

1. De-Leninization

A Leninist organization operates on absolute vertical command, where the party permeates every cell of society, the judiciary, the economy, and the military. In a Leninist state, "constitutionalism" is a contradiction in terms, because the Party is explicitly placed above the law.

The Logic: You cannot build a constitutional democracy while a Leninist structure exists. A free society requires political pluralism, an independent judiciary, and autonomous civic groups. The Leninist party-state naturally treats these as cancerous cells to be destroyed. Therefore, the total dissolution of the Leninist organizational model is the baseline prerequisite for freedom.

2. Demilitarization 

In China, the PLA does not belong to the nation; it belongs strictly to the Party ("The Party commands the gun"). The military is the ultimate guarantor of the party's monopoly on power, functioning as a domestic occupation force as much as a national defense force.

The Logic: Constitutional transition is impossible if an autonomous, highly politicized military holds a veto over political life. For democratization to succeed, the armed forces must either be entirely dissolved or fundamentally reconstituted from scratch as a neutral, civilian-controlled national military. True liberalization requires removing the military's ability to act as a political kingmaker.

3. De-nuclearization

The possession of nuclear weapons provides a Leninist-military regime with absolute geopolitical blackmail power. It insulates the ruling elite from external pressure and creates an existential shield behind which they can perpetrate domestic repression with impunity.

The Logic: A nuclear-armed totalitarian state is a threat not just to its own people, but to the world. During a volatile domestic political transition, nuclear weapons under the control of desperate, ideological, or fracturing military factions pose an tragic global hazard. De-nuclearization is essential to disarm the regime's ultimate tool of extortion, ensuring that the process of domestic liberalization can occur without the risk of global nuclear annihilation.

Conclusion

The 2018 constitutional amendment was the clearest signal yet that the Chinese party-state has closed all doors to internal, incremental reform. It revealed a regime completely aligned with its military core, prepared for long-term systemic confrontation, and structurally locked down by a heavily militarized NPC.

For international policymakers and democratic advocates, the lesson is clear: hoping for a moderate faction within the CCP to emerge and steer China toward freedom is a fantasy. Because the regime's power is structurally anchored by a nuclear-armed, military-backed Leninist state, true liberalization requires nothing less than a complete structural reset. Only through complete De-Leninization, Demilitarization, and De-nuclearization can the Chinese people finally break free from the cycle of autocracy and establish a genuine constitutional republic.

The PLA's Seats in China's Legislature: How the People's Liberation Army Helps Run the "People's" Congress

In the People's Republic of China (PRC), the National People's Congress (NPC) is formally the highest organ of state power and the country's unicameral legislature. In practice, it functions largely as a rubber-stamp body that approves decisions made by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership. One structural feature stands out as particularly revealing of the regime's hybrid military-party nature: the dedicated, oversized representation of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and, more recently, the People's Armed Police (PAP).Institutionalized Military PresenceUnlike most modern states, where legislatures represent civilian populations and the military remains subordinate and apolitical in lawmaking, China's system embeds the armed forces directly into the legislative branch at every level.

• The NPC allocates a specific electoral unit for the PLA/PAP. This military delegation is consistently one of the largest — often the single largest — in the nearly 3,000-member body. In the 14th NPC, it holds 281 seats, exceeding even populous provinces like Shandong (173 deputies).
• PLA delegates are elected internally through servicemen's congresses in theater commands, service branches, and other military units, under a dedicated election law.
• This pattern repeats at provincial and local People's Congresses, where active-duty PLA officers serve as "gun barrel" (ie troops) representatives alongside civilian delegates.

Historical numbers illustrate the scale: PLA delegations have ranged from dozens in early NPCs to peaks of hundreds, typically stabilizing around 9% of total seats in recent decades — disproportionate representation for roughly 2 million active personnel compared to over a billion civilians.Recent Example: Meng Jidong and Unit 93601A January 2026 announcement for the 14th Shanxi Provincial People's Congress listed Meng Jidong, a member of PLA Unit 93601 (part of the Central Theater Command Air Force), as a military representative. Meng has published on implementing Xi Jinping's "strong army" ideology and political work amid military reforms.Such appointments are routine. Military personnel rotate through these roles, blurring lines between command of force and crafting of law. Earlier records show PLA-linked delegates removed or reassigned as "work adjustments," confirming the system treats legislative seats as extensions of military service.Meng Jidong: Deputy Political Commissar of PLA Air Force Unit 95028; he was confirmed as a deputy to the Hubei Provincial People’s Congress by Hubei Provincial People’s Congress Standing Committee Announcement No. 289 on January 23, 2021, remained a provincial deputy until Announcement No. 341 on January 28, 2024 confirmed that he had left Hubei, and was later identified in a January 2026 announcement of the Shanxi Provincial People’s Congress Standing Committee as serving in PLA Air Force Unit 93601.

The systemic weaponisation of civilian legislative bodies by active-duty military personnel is not an isolated tactical anomaly confined to Hubei's army units; it is a standardized, nationwide doctrine executed by the PLA High Command. The career trajectory of Meng Jidong (孟吉东), a political commissar in the PLA Air Force, offers a chilling textbook example of how military-legislative status functions as a "portable infiltration asset" across provincial borders.

• The Mobility of Infiltration: According to Announcement No. 289 of the Hubei Provincial NPC, Meng—then serving as the Deputy Political Commissar of PLAAF Unit 95028 (a strategic airborne hub)—was injected into the provincial legislature in January 2021. The moment he vacated his post in Hubei (confirmed by Announcement No. 341 in January 2024), his legislative "mandate" vanished, only to miraculously reincarnate in January 2026 within the Shanxi Provincial NPC, tracking his transfer to PLAAF Unit 93601 under the Central Theatre Command.

• The Ideological Blueprint for War Readiness: To decode what Meng's actual mission is within these civilian congresses, one must look at his 2018 forensic paper published while serving in the Logistics Department of the Central Theatre Command Air Force, titled "Actively Responding to New Challenges of Military Reform, Vigorously Promoting the Innovative Development of Political Work." In the text, Meng explicitly argues that under "Xi Jinping’s Thinking on Strengthening the Military," political work must evolve to meet "new systems, new functions, and new missions."

In the strict language of defense analysis, this "innovative political work" is code for establishing an uninterrupted wartime mobilisation matrix. By inserting senior Air Force logistics and political commissars into provincial legislatures across multiple strategic corridors (from the airborne infrastructure of Hubei to the radar and missile defense depths of Shanxi), the CCP ensures that the military holds the legislative keys to the hinterland.

These "gun-barrel delegates" do not represent civilian constituents; they are the advance vanguard tasked with ensuring that when the CCP launches its kinetic aggression in the Pacific, local civilian bureaucracies, transport networks, and airspace logistics can be instantly and legally subordinated to the military machine.
Implications: Party-Army Fusion in LegislationThis structure is not accidental. Since the founding of the PRC, the CCP has viewed the PLA as the "party's army," not a national military in the Western sense. Mao Zedong's famous dictum — "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" — and the principle that "the Party commands the gun" underscore the integration.PLA delegates actively participate by submitting proposals, especially on defense budgets, military modernization, and related laws. They help shape legislation that the armed forces then implement — and obey. This creates a feedback loop where the military influences the rules governing itself within a nominally civilian legislative framework.Critics, including some Chinese scholars, have noted that this overrepresentation violates principles of equal representation and reinforces the military's privileged position. In a system where all power ultimately flows from the CCP Politburo and its Central Military Commission (chaired by Xi Jinping), the PLA's legislative role reinforces unified party-army control rather than checks and balances.Broader Context of CCP GovernanceThe People's Congress system at all levels divides representation between "uniformed" (military) and non-uniformed tracks. This is consistent with the PRC's self-description as a "people's democratic dictatorship" led by the working class under CCP guidance — where the PLA serves as the ultimate guarantor of that dictatorship.Far from being a neutral professional force, the military is woven into the fabric of lawmaking, policy approval, and personnel appointments. This setup helps explain the regime's cohesion: the same apparatus that suppresses dissent also ratifies the legal framework for governance.Why It MattersAs China pursues military-civil fusion, rapid modernization (with the PLA centenary goal in 2027), and assertive foreign policy, understanding these institutional links is essential. The presence of active-duty officers in the legislature is not mere symbolism — it is a feature of how the CCP maintains absolute control, ensuring that "legislation" aligns with the priorities of the party and its gun.Observers tracking China's political and military trajectory should pay closer attention to these military delegates. They offer a window into the regime's true nature: not a conventional nation-state with separate civilian and military branches, but a Leninist party-army hybrid where the barrel of the gun helps write the laws.
